It's too late for anyone but congressional Republicans to step up and impeach him and remove him from office.
I wouldn't hold my breath. Buckle up.

Nothing I said relies on magical thinking. I personally don't think there's any help coming. This administration has a will to power and are going to exercise it. They want to dismantle the government and so they're going to do it. Obviously someone can always take illegal or unprecedented action to deal with the situation, but not mentioning that fact doesn't mean someone is engaging in magical thinking.
If people wanted to rise up and actually deal with the establishment like so many want, that involves dealing with career politicians (through term limits and getting money out of politics) and especially dealing with big businesses and the ultra wealthy. (By getting much stronger personal rights, from consumer protection to labor rights to privacy rights to health rights.) Many of these should be non-controversial to the average person, if we had some level of class consciousness that helped people realize that our real problems are not cultural divides.
The main point, though, is that many Americans are pretty comfortable, and mostly not interested in direct, confrontational action. That only comes when things get very personal.
Since big companies like FAANG/OpenAI/Twitter etc. can control the information that 99% of people see (and seem to support the current leadership), it's almost impossible to get objective information if they don't want it out there.
